Even though I couldn't sit to watch the game between Nigeria and Ethiopian teams but I am glad it is over and Nigeria super eagles made us proud by defeating Ethiopia.
I'm so glad I won 20Euros on bet over this match!:)
The hosts were the superior team for the first hour and led after 56 minutes as Nigerian goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama misjudged a cross from Behailu Assefa.
Nigeria, who were not at their best, equalised through Emmanuel Emenike's ferocious drive after 67 minutes.
Emenike then won and scored a penalty late on to seal a barely-deserved win.
The match was in the 90th minute when Aynalem Hailu needlessly brought the Nigerian down, so allowing the Turkey-based striker to coolly slot home a decisive goal.
"Ethiopia's play scared us in the first half but we showed why we are the African champions in the second half - that's what makes the difference," assistant coach Daniel Amokachi told BBC Sport.
